Sleep deprivation is a HELL of a drug isn’t it
I taught my kid that swear words (important note: this does not include derogatory names for groups of people) are just words that can carry a social consequence. When you are a child, this consequence isn’t on you, as much as it is on your parents, who are responsible for you. As such, parents usually just ask their kids not to swear. Instead of that, I told him to ask me before he swore so I could explain the potential social consequences and we could make the decision together. So far, he’s asked a handful of times if he could swear at Trump while we watched the news. I found this perfectly acceptable, so he got to say “Ｆｕｃｋ trump”. Once when he dislocated his knee, he asked to swear - I said yea, he yelled “HOLY SHIT OUCH” and I asked if it made him feel better, he said it did. Once in traffic someone almost hit us and he asked to swear, I said yes - he said “That guy is an ASSHOLE” and I was like, yeah. 100% he was. He’s never asked to swear at a time that I felt was inappropriate. I have 0 regrets about this parenting decision.
girls what are you wearing
Spanish Legion parade uniform
genuinely one of my favourite posts on this site
Ken's purpose was to be Barbie's trophy husband. He barely had any good clothes or shoes to wear.
*boyfriend. trophy boyfriend. occasional fiancé. but barbie was designed to stand alone. she's had a credit card in her own name since before women could have credit cards in their own names.
All this! Ken was so unnecessary to the Barbie experience that most girls I knew had a bunch of Barbies and like 1 or 2 Kens.
And Mattel knew this because any time they'd make a Barbie group of friends there was usually a 2-1 girl/guy ratio, and the guys were not key to the narrative included with the dolls.
But the idea that he didn't have good clothes? BAYBEE, are you serious? He was designed to wear things that complimented Barbie. My boy's wardrobe had to be on point or he wasn't invited to the party.
Mans even got a tattoo to match hers when she decided to rebel a little.
Didn't they accidentally make him gay at one point too?
Yeah, twice actually, one time with Allan, which is WHY “there’s only one allan” was such a funny line, he was kens guy friend which came across more like they were gay. Then sometime in the 80’s or 90’s they wanted ken to appeal to the styles of the time but didn’t know what they were doing, accidentally researched GAY club clothes instead of like… straight clothes I guess, and gave Ken an outfit with a lot of mesh and he was wearing a metal ring on a necklace, not knowing that gay guys were wearing *cock rings* on necklaces, not just regular rings, lol. I’m not the MOST knowledgeable in everything about these two incidents but I know of them.
TLDR Allan seemed more like Ken’s gay love interest and also Mattel accidentally made ken walk around wearing a cock ring
In case you haven’t the glory that is Earring Magic Ken.
[ID: A blonde Ken doll with blue eyes wearing a mesh tshirt, a lavender leather vest, a hoop earring in his left ear and a cock ring on a chain around his neck.]
Just to clarify how they messed up so bad with Earring Magic Ken, it becomes much more understandable when you look at the Earring Magic line as a whole and that they were, as ever, trying to match Ken to Barbie.
They ALL had leather + mesh clothes, Mattel just didn’t think about how that looks on a guy (I lavender no less - I have to assume some designer looked at what they were supposed to do and was like “oh honey if you want me to put him in that we’re going all the way”).
And they all had some kind of jewelry with a ring on it, the point of which was to attach charms to it. Who knows why they gave Ken a necklace instead of a belt, but the ring itself was an unfortunate coincidence.
So basically: it wasn’t so much that they were looking at men’s styles and not noticing they were looking at gay men, it was that they were tying to transfer Barbie’s look onto Ken and didn’t stop to think that sometimes women’s fashion on guys looks gay. And unwittingly created a very gay Ken doll.
When that particular Ken came out in the first half of the ‘90′s, I had an openly gay to everyone but our boss coworker in the Binding department, who waited for the boss to leave for her lunch, and then whisper rounded us up and herded us to his cubicle, where he proudly held up earing Magic Ken with his cute little cock ring next to his face and with great delight announced “Twins!” he wasn’t wring. same hair cut, same earing, same colouring, same approximate build and face shape.
He acted at the little theater down town, and he started displaying that Ken dressed in tiny versions of his costumes on the shelf above his desk.
We had no idea if the boss got it.
It's already common knowledge that the animation for ATSV is absolutely bonkers (with the first film already breaking ground). But learning this added info over Hobie's animation is beyond nuts.
Phineas and Ferb episode idea: After Candace shows her photos of all of her brothers’ creations, Linda thinks that her daughter is a talented graphic artist and signs her up for a competition. Candace is frustrated and about to tell her mom the truth but then Jeremy shows up and he’s like “Wow, Candace, I didn’t know you were a graphic designer. That’s so cool. Btw, my little sister is also gonna be at the graphic design competition.”
Long story short, Candace asks her brothers to help her become a graphic artist for real so she could beat Suzie.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz has gotten tired of designing -Inators so he designed the Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator to design them for him. The Inator’s creation are a hit among other Evil Scientists who buy them in droves. Doofenshmirtz is then signed by Vanessa to an Evil Contracption Designing competition (held in the same building at the same time as the graphic design competition, of course).
Desperate, he asks Perry the Platypus to help him get his mojo back so he could design -Inators again.
Cue musical montage of Doof and Candace training to learn/relearn their respective art form.
It’s the competition(s). Candace is a nervous wreck, but Jeremy believes in her. Doof is all self-assured and ego-boosted by everyone thinking he’ll win, but then he sees his Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator (who looks like a robotic him) also signed up for the competition.
While getting ready for the competition, Perry is accidentally almost spotted by Phineas and Ferb. He sneaks behind the curtain to the behind the scenes. That’s when he discovers that the goal of the competition is to design a doomsday weapon. Nervous, he swaps the cards with those of the graphic design competition.
The competition begins. The graphic artists are assigned to design a doomsday weapon while the Evil Scientists are assigned to design a cool band poster.
The scientists are baffled, but they do their best. The
Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator
is stuck because it’s physically incapable of drawing anything but Inators.
Meanwhile in the graphic design competition Candace does her best but her brain goes blank. Suzie meanwhile is trying to sabotage her by switching her card back with the card from the other tournament. Unfortunately it’s the card of the Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator, who now goes to task designing a Doomsday weapon.
The competition is finished. Candace’s work is mediocre, but she wins by technicality for being the only one who drew the correct thing.
Meanwhile at the Evil Scientists competition, the scientists all drew terrible posters except Doof whose poster is beautiful. He’s about to be declared the winner but then the Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator reveals what it’s been working on, a doomsday machine. Everyone panics, and Perry the Platypus tries to stop the machine, but fails. Then the machine ticks down to 0, and nothing happens.
Turns out the Comes-Up-With-Inators-Inator is terrible at coming up with machines. All of its Inators don’t work. Which unfortunately for Doof results in all of his previously happy customers showing up to complain because their Inators didn’t work either. He asks Perry to help him again, but Perry is already gone.
“There you are, Perry.” “Curse you, Perry the Platypus!”
Despite winning, Candace feels hollow because she only won by technicality and all of the other designers were much better than her. She feels like a fraud. But then Jeremy shows up and asks to buy the rights for her poster, because he thinks it’s really cool. Candace is happy.
The End.
Jeremy: I love the exploding moon in the corner
Candace *frowning*: It’s a flower
Ferb’s Line: Maybe you did design a doomsday weapon after all
I used to be obsessed with Phineas and Ferb.
Also I’m a good writer.
Oh, it was.
I would be ecstatic
The song is a homage to 80s sports montage songs like Eye of the Tiger and You’re The Best Around. The lyrics, to contrast, are about stuff like “use a ruler and compass” and “picking the right color”.
